So, it seems my specialization of NixOS config with nvidia drivers enabled tries to disable itself on nixos-rebuild switch. Kinda makes sense how it works but it sucks if I want to, I don't know, install some games and don't want to reboot for that?

"Fix" is kinda there, either manual switching in some obscure part, of nixos-rebuild flag, but first didn't work for me for unknown reason and second is only in unstable (I'm currently feeling pretty content with versions stable channel of nixpkgs provides, so I didn't try switching)

Okay, this may be just not a good day to try making Stable Diffusion work on NixOS (every flake/shell I found stuck at downloading Torch package, probably repo issues)

Waydroid is really fragile, it seems that rebooting computer when container doesn't feel like it can cause completely borking it requiring to reset it
Tired Bunny :bunhdcomfysleep:
And that is if resetting will actually help, I'm not exactly sure

Should make an introduction post since I didn't have one before?

Making bootable NixOS config with NVIDIA proprietary drivers enabled is success!

Now:

- Isn’t it cool gpu bus numbers on my laptop are the same as in example from manual?
- Please return me 1+ hour of my live I’ve wasted because I didn’t read the documentation through and initially skipped the bus part.

My multiGPU laptop is so freaking silent and cold when NVIDIA GPU drivers are not installed (New NixOS install)

So, time to learn NixOS specializations to make a separate NVIDIA-enabled config version since I only use NVIDIA gpu for blender/stable diffusion/games. I hope open source Vulkan driver will be out soon and I could finally stop this madness

So, I think I will dual boot nixos and Fedora since it is uncertain if NixOS will work well out of box, and migration generally won't be painless and quick because unlike my now broken laptop that only had in-repo software and tidy /home, my main has games, stable diffusion, llama, and a lot of garbage in home directory, and it begs for clean install while I need my old stuff intact so I can work on unfinished projects (which are already not being worked on while I play with NixOS)

Should I now install NixOS on my main laptop, since other one died, or not...

Reasons to not federate with facebook’s Threads summarized trying to avoid dramatization:

- They are facebook
- They gather A TON of data about users and it seems to extend to federated content too.
- Their motives are unclear, and it really seems they go for Embrace Extend Extinguish here (once people will rely on Threads federation to talk with friends they will pull the plug and make you choose beetween losing communications or migrating on Threads, or they will blackmail admins to choose beetween losing federation with Threads or doing what they want, like ads)
- They seem to completely miss the point of community driven project, making meeting with big instances admins behind closed doors. (So there is no reasons to believe they are here because they care about fediverse)
- They prioritized alghorithm-driven feeds over supporting things like alt text. (so even less reason to believe they care for fediverse or it’s community)
- Federating with them may cause legal problems if server is based in EU or Ireland (Threads was not opened here because of EU privacy laws violation), or Russia (Facebook is considered extremist organization here, Threads was preemptively blocked by russian internet providers)
- They basically support some conservative political entities known even for direct harassment of people. Basically, this means they are already a contender for Fediblock just based on that fact, and a lot more deserved than a lot of instances that get here because of “federation with usual suspects”
- More generally, they are a big instance with lackluster moderation, probably worse than mastosoc
- They are absurdly big instance, small server federating with them will have a lot of technical issues. They won’t pay every server for that. (and even if they will, they will probably force some guidelines or even ads once most admins will start relying on that)

What if isekai manga names are actually letters main characters send to their relatives in our world?

Just in case, does anybody know how to mount a LUKS encrypted drive that supposed to be booted from, on another device as external drive? Does Linux gui stuff recognize it and ask for password or will it require manual command line stuff?

So... Uh... My older laptop is completely borked, I take back my words that I want to to take backe good things I said about NixOS, it wasn't at fault
Tired Bunny :bunhdcomfysleep:
Can I please take back everything good I said about NixOS?...
Tired Bunny :bunhdcomfysleep:
No, still very borked.

But I liked NixOS very much... :aqua_crying_quietly:
Tired Bunny :bunhdcomfysleep:
So, my issues with NixOS seems to have been related to Librewolf and Firefox being autoupdated (autoupdate of nix was enabled in config) which caused regressions in hardware acceleration or something like that

Simple fix I found is installing latest kernel with "boot.kernelPackages = pkgs.linuxPackages_latest" line in configuration.nix
Tired Bunny :bunhdcomfysleep:
Spoke too soon, issue returned, trying to figure it out again...
Tired Bunny :bunhdcomfysleep:
NixOS suddenly and completely borked itself for me, both x11 and wayland sessions hang up, glitch and refuse to response on mouse clicks

But rollback also did not help, so it may be a hardware issue because wtf... :blobwtfnotlikethis:
Tired Bunny :bunhdcomfysleep:
I can stop panicing, freezes only occur on launching librewolf, either autoupdate issue or plasma integration one, or both...

My biggest beef with NixOS is absolutely awful documentation.

You can find three different pages on the same topic and not one of them will answer your question on it

It recommends random guides that don't work, probably due to being outdated

Different pages and "recommended" guides reference completely different ways of doing the same thing so you often cannot use one to fix your issues with another without adopting different way of doing what you are doing

Now I understand why "non-standart" linux users are so annoying about their distro of choice. I found NixOS so rewarding to learn and just using it fills me with so much dopamine that I just cannot shut up talking about it myself.

Shout out to NixOS developers and maintainers for making such hacky and standard-breaking packaging system work so well in practice :blobfoxnix:
